A World View on The Netaji

 Even as Subhas Chandra Bose's 115th birth anniversary was recently observed, Tapan Chattopadhay, retired IPS officer who worked in the Intelligence Bureau for two decades, spoke to ...... about how Netaji shook up the British Raj, the Indian National Army   What prompted your research? A decade and a half ago I chanced upon British intelligence documents while researching Subhash Bose and the INA. The documents showed British intelligence was very worried about the INA’s secret service till then the INA was considered disjointed isolated effort.

GURGAON: Jag Ram, 89, an Indian National Army (INA) veteran, who once was a guard of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in Rangoon, is now busy fighting a different battle. He is forced to literally fight with his tenants to collect their monthly rents from them. The veteran has to argue with tenants, mostly shopowners, at the end of every month. He went to the city administration's Republic Day function where he was offered a shawl, like other freedom fighters. "I spoke to some officials about my injured leg and the problem I am facing due to bad tenants," said Ram while sweeping the floor outside the house. Last week he met the HUDA administrator, Praveen Kumar, and the war veteran wasted no time in telling about his tenants. "I am thankful that after the administrator's intervention I got some of the pending rent but I don't know if these people will pay the rent regularly next month or not," said Ram. The INA veteran has six shops and four rooms on ren...

Netaji on a voyage during WWII The saga of Netaji continues - his biography is read by millions Indian households as a part of children's awakening of patriotism. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose - His Majesty's Opponent- the Indian Freedom Fighter who fought the colonial rules tooth and nail, Gandhiji's Patriot of patriots. Netaji's life's abrupt end shrouded with dubious plane crash and Govt of India's setting up of three Enquiry Commissions still not able to resolve the mystery. Rather, the Truth seekers and researchers on Netaji are increasingly getting a sixth sense feeling that a distinct quarter in the corridor of central power since the Nehru days are desperate to hide certain very serious facts from the people of this country. The feeling and belief that has grown stronger with each passing year since 1945 is that World War Allied forces’ governments and the Government of India( even after change of guards) has continued to act...

Subhash Chandra Bose Missing Mystery Takes New Fold - By Ananth - Published: 08/11/2011 Although there have been several stories about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's whereabouts, many publications and articles have announced his demise after all the efforts of tracing him went futile. Numerous commissions and organizations have conducted various investigations to chase the mystery, ironically, the living witness Nizamuddin was never contacted by anyone. The 107-year old Nizamuddin, who asserts to be the driver of Netaji in Azad Hind Fauj (AHF), is presently residing in Islampura, Bilariyaganj that is situated in Azamgarh district. The retired driver mentioned that had spent four years with Bose after joining the AHF in 1942. Nizamuddin is extremely confident that Bose must have not lost his life in the plane crash in 1945. "How can it be possible when I had dropped him by the car on the banks of Sitangpur river near the border of Burma and Thailand about three-fou...

Jan 19, 2012, 02.31AM IST   TNN CUTTACK: With only a few days to go, the Netaji museum here is yet to come up with any concrete plan for celebrating the 115th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on January 23 next. "Every year we add something new to the museum on the occasion of Netaji Jayanti, but unfortunately, this year there is no such programme. We had thought about setting up a gallery dedicated to the spiritual life of Netaji, but the project has not been completed due to delay in construction work," said J P Das, the curator of Netaji museum. Similarly, with the model code of conduct for the panchayat poll in force, neither the chief minister nor any other minister will visit the museum on that day. Every year authorities make elaborate plans to celebrate the day at the Netaji museum. The chief minister and other senior political leaders attend the programmes and address public meetings, but this year there would be no such event. It was also...

The provisional government immediately declared war on the United States and Britain , and in January it located its capital in Japanese-occupied Yangon ( Rangoon ), Burma .

Japanese and INA forces entered India in March, advancing to the outskirts of Imphal in the northeast. There, they besieged the British garrison until the beginning of the monsoon rains in June. The rainy season prevented further attack and gave the British time to reinforce their positions, and the British were able to turn back the invading army. In May 1945 the INA surrendered in Yangon . Bose escaped, making his way eventually to Japanese-occupied Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City , Vietnam ). When Japan announced its...
